Dinner Illustrated is a modern approach to weeknight meals, with a revolutionary layout that makes it easy to open to any page and jump right into making one of our simple, globally inspired dinners. Each recipe appears as a fully illustrated roadmap to producing fantastic, fresh meals (salad and sides included) in an hour or less. No advance prep required; just gather your ingredients, pick up your knife, and follow along with the step-by-step photos until dinner is on the table. Side dishes are built right into the recipes. Along the way you'll pick up a helpful technique or two and learn about new ingredients to expand your culinary imagination. You'll become a faster cook, too, since we show you exactly when to prep each ingredient during the cooking process in order to get the work done efficiently (and without burning anything). And a simple approach doesn't mean simple flavors; there are options for all tastes and diets, including recipes like Parmesan Chicken with Warm Arugula, Radicchio, and Fennel Salad; Grilled Cumin-Rubbed Flank Steak with Mexican Street Corn; Stir-Fried Eggplant with Garlic-Basil Sauce and Rice; Cod in Saffron Broth with Chorizo and Potatoes; and Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and White Beans. Nutritional information for every meal is included as well, so you can choose the recipes that best fit your diet and the health needs of your family on a particular night.
